| 127624 | 2003-03-18 05:59:00 | You'ld probably be best to use a free hosting site like www.orcon.net.nz . That gives less space, but it's free. Even 80c /day adds up, and I'm sure you can find other things to spend money on. :D | Graham L (2) | ||

You can get 10 MB for free at Orcon (http://orcon.net.nz) & you can redirect your domain name to it. where have you looked for hosting??? Have a look here: www.netguide.co.nz |

| 127626 | 2003-03-18 09:27:00 | I dont like Orcon, i am with it at the moment, and my ftp thing keeps screwing up with them. I can only upload like, 2-3 things at a time. extremely annoying. | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 127627 | 2003-03-18 09:31:00 | mejobloggs, I suspect that they have it so that it is difficult to add to the drive during maintanance. I note that the important end (the webserver) just keeps going and going! .Chris |

| 127628 | 2003-03-18 12:24:00 | Hi, I have bought my own .com from www.digitalis.com.au Easy to deal with. Cost AU$17 per year with up to 100 subdomains and email addresses. I just use it for redirecting my email and website to my ISP (Paradise). They also do hosting but a little more expensive. I did alot of searching and found this was the best deal going. Well, suites me in any case. Good luck Richard |

| 127629 | 2003-03-18 20:13:00 | hogwarts, Yeah thats pretty much what i do with my 2 domains. (3 if you count Dyans which is registered through me to avoid an additional domainz admin fee) There is just one problem in doing that on the cheap. While pointing the domain at the server, legitatly provides a fully working domain, using the invisible frame based system that lets you host a domain on free space without their concent has one or 2 things that dont work. Favicons don't work, they have to be in the parent frame, which is provided by registerdirect. Also links like www.millerton.co.nz/outdoor.htm don't work, so bookmarking etc can be messy. The said link is living at homepages.paradise.net.nz and thats what gets bookmarked. Once i get the above site finished to the point that i am happy with it, i seriously expect to get it hosted legitamitly, probably taking advantage of registerdirects $100/year hosting deal. .Clueless |
